My dv camcorder shows connected through the computer but will not display a picture. I have connected and re-connected the mini-dv to USB cord several times and still not working. I deleted the "USB Video Device" icon several times and then reconnected the dv camcorder and it will show up in the list, but will not display a pitcure. Any advice?

I can't find any reference to a PV-GX31 model, BUT if your camcorder is a PV-GS31 MiniDV model, then you need special software for it to show up on your computer screen. Panasonic supply the software to show and edit still shots (through your USB cable). But if you want to show and edit movies, then you need a firewire cable, a firewire connection on your computer to connect it to, and most importantly some editing software. PCs are pretty slack in this area, so you should use a mac!

Does my Panasonic PV-GS35 Mini DV Digital Camcorder have a VCR mode and how do I access it? I am trying to copy a VHS tape to mini DV and I cannot get my camera to do it.

The Panasonic PV-GS35 will let you record digital media to the mini DV cassette if the other video source has a DV input/output connection. Then you use the 4-pin to 4-pin Firewire DV cable, PV-DDC9 . This cable is available from Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/LETO-FireWire-Panasonic-Camcorder-PV-DDC9/dp/B00MLQVMSK , and other vendors. The digital camera doesn't have the S-video input needed to record from most other sources.

For information on the digital dubbing feature, see the manual starting on page 42. Panasonic has the manual on the product support page: https://shop.panasonic.com/support-only/PV-GS35.html . The current link to the manual is ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/camcorder/om/pv-gs19_en_om.pdf . See page 13 of the manual for the location of the DV port.

I hope this helps.

Firewire

Okay then let's start with that. Download the drivers from:

http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Cameras-Camcorders/Camcorders/MiniDV-Camcorders/Drivers-Downloads/model.PV-GS39.D#ts

Install the drivers and you should be good to go! Let me know if you're having any problems after that.

Panasonic mini dv camcorder cannot get it to view video on my pc

I solved the problem on my own. On the panasonic.com site I searched and found my mini dv camcorder and then I found the software I would need to make it work on the computer. I found everything I needed and I will not need to join the premium plan you offer, sometimes if we just take time you can find it yourself without paying so much for something are there any sites that just help people instead of wanting your money....

My Panasonic Palmcorder PV-GS19 does not connect to my pc

if you want to transfer the video to the computer, I use a firewire cable that I had to buy separately, make sure ur computer has a firewire port. The usb cable is only good for downloading pictures.
